Kent Manufacturing produces a product that sells for $40.00. Fixed costs are $146,000 and variable costs are $14.00 per unit. Kent can buy a new production machine that will increase fixed costs by $10,950 per year, but will decrease variable costs by $3.20 per unit. Compute the revised break-even point in dollars with the purchase of the new machine.

$215,000

Explanation:

The computation of the break even point in dollars is shown below:

= (Fixed cost ) ÷ (Profit volume ratio)

where,  

Fixed cost = $146,000 + $10,950 = $156,950

And the profit volume ratio would be

= (Contribution margin) ÷ (Sales) × 100

where Contribution margin equal to

= Sales - variable cost

= $40 - $14 + $3.20

= $29.20

So, the profit volume ratio is

= ($29.20) ÷ ($40) × 100

= 73%

Now the revised break even point in dollars is

= $156,950 ÷73%

= $215,000

the correct answer is:

it required the president to inform congress within forty-eight hours of any new troop commitment.

the war powers resolution (1973) is a federal law designed to limit the u.s. president’s ability to initiate or intensify military actions abroad without the approval of the congress.

it establishes that the president can send armed forces into action abroad only by declaration of war by congress, statutory authorization, or in case of a national emergency created by attack upon the united states, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces.

it requires the president to notify congress within 48 hours of sending armed forces to military action.

correct, but each time you dont pay the price of the penalty can increase.
